Workout of the day
The downstairs toilet, nearest the entrance is out of use for tomorrow. It has been freshened up and painted. The paint is still wet.
This as well as the entrance corridor, the walls are still wet, so don't lean on them.
Awesome effort on Fran tonight. PBs flying everywhere.

A small change to the timings of the session kindly offered by Mike at CrossFit Ion. It will now begin at 11am. You will just have to wait a minute or two to kick their butts! ;-)

Hey team. As a friendly reminder, or even if you didn't know...the box will be CLOSED on Saturday and Sunday of this week (17/18th) for a CrossFit L1 seminar.
Many of the memebers are having an outing to Pen-y-fan to get a festive picture (Xmas Jumpers and Santa hats are a must) and plan to meet at the box for at 10:00, if they aren't there, meet at the fan at 11. The more the merrier! Please pee at home as entrance to the box at that time will be rewarded with burpees.
Otherwise Mike Catris, the legend, has invited you all to class at CrossFit Ion to smash their members. I shall post timings up later in the week.

It is extremely difficult to put into words how much of a privilege it was to be a small part of the massively successful feat that Danny Watson undertook this past weekend.
Witnessing that man continue to battle through inconceivable pain, utterly selflessly, for hours was a truly humbling experience.
Danny, what you have achieved is second to none. Hold your head high with pride. Rest up brother. I will never forger your conduct that day.

CrossFit Cardiff Xmas party payment deadline Saturday 10th December!
Everyone is welcome to attend as long as you've paid. Details can be found on the Facebook event page, here's the link https://www.facebook.com/events/226845954397485/?ti=icl
WOD
Part A
Spit jerk 1 Rep Max
After the 1RM clean & jerk a couple of weeks ago it was clear that split jerks were generally something people didn't have experience doing. So this is a chance for you guys to work on it! See Below a video of Dmitry Klokov split jerking 245kg!!!
Part B
For time 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Each set must be completed unbroken! Once all the 10 cleans followed by all the 10 STOH are completed you can drop the bar. Pick the bar up and do the same for the 9's and 8's and so on until you finish on 1 clean and 1 STOH.
Hope you all had a great weekend! Let's start the week of well and get after this workout!
4 Rounds for time:
25 minute time cap.
For time:
150 Bench Press (50kg/35kg) after both partners have completed a set, perform 15 air squats together (i.e you both do 15) before continuing with the next set.
150 Over Head Squat (50kg/35kg) after both partners have completed a set, perform 15 press ups together before continuing with the next set.
Run 1 Mile together
Please spot one another on the bench! You are welcome to break up the reps however you wish, but I would recommend max effort sets to reduce the number of air squats and press ups you have to perform.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday......
